Abstract:
Objective To explore the effects of continuous nursing intervention with regular care on health related behaviors in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft (CABG). Methods 80 undergoing CABG patients were recruited to the control group and the study group. All the subjects received regular care.Besides this, patients in the study group received continuous nursing intervention, which include: carrying out education and handing out handbooks before discharging, implementing telephone follow-up after discharging.The health related behaviors, which included 6 parts: nutrition, exercise, stress management, medicine management, complication management and smoking, were measured in the 4th week, 8th week and 12th week after discharging from the hospital. Results Patients in the study group had better health related behaviors than those who received regular care alone, specifically including better nutrition, exercise, medicine management and complication management behaviors. However, the differences of stress management behaviors and smoking between the two groups were non-significant. Conclusions The continuous nursing intervention was a safe and effective intervention style.
